Kuba: It clicked then that the only thing ‘wrong’ in any of these events was ‘my’ emotional reaction, that fumbling or not that meeting with the official could have been an utterly amicable situation for everyone concerned. That when I was demonstrating the technique and “something went wrong”, it was ‘my’ emotional reaction that was the something. I saw that many times in my life I experienced mistakes and errors whilst feeling felicitous and innocuous and somehow nothing was going wrong (in an ultimate sense). This is when it clicked, it made me think of what Richard wrote that the perfection and purity of the actual world has no need for precautions, it is an organic perfection and purity, not a manufactured one.

Hi Kuba,
You might like those examples – Richard just said “oops” when he made a mistake, no big deal –
RICHARD: […] Oops … both a typo and a mis-spelling in one post
‘ … the very fact not ‘being’ renders any different way of ‘being’ impossible …’.
‘ … the very fact of not ‘being’ renders any different way of ‘being’ impossible …’.
‘ … we had figured the whole focus on something better than love and compassion would be more palatble if the gender of the actually free person remained unknown …’.
‘ … we had figured the whole focus on something better than love and compassion would be more palatable if the gender of the actually free person remained unknown …’.
Ha … perhaps it signals a retirement from writing as being in order.
(Postscript 2):
Golly … a mis-dating as well:
‘ … from November 1996 to December 1997 …’.
‘ … from November 1995 to December 1996 …’.
(No smart-aleck comment this time around).
Regards, Richard. (Richard, List D, No. 12, 9 Dec 2009a).
And this one (my favourite) –
Richard (to Respondent): (…) the only guaranteed-to-be-accurate suppository of authentic reports/ descriptions/ explanations of an actual freedom from the human condition.
Richard: I haven’t had such a good laugh in quite a while. Viz.:suppository: a conical or cylindrical pellet designed to be inserted into the rectum or vagina to melt and release a medicament or serve as a lubricant’. (Oxford Dictionary).
Thus the above section reads something like this (for example):
• [example only]: ‘… the only guaranteed-to-be-accurate pellet designed to be inserted into the rectum or vagina to melt and release authentic reports/ descriptions/ explanations of an actual freedom from the human condition’ [end example].
So much for … um … choosing my words very carefully, eh?
(Although it does lend a whole new connotation to the word ‘osmosis’ than normally found in dictionaries).
What the word should have been, of course, is repository. Viz.:repository: a receptacle, building, or other place, in which things are or may be deposited or stored (…)’. ~ (Oxford Dictionary).
Oh, well … c’est la vie, I guess.
Regards, Richard. (Richard, List D, No. 4, 16 May 2009).
